[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All of the hospitals outsource post-partum care to your partner or a hired doula to some extent - they say it’s to help with breastfeeding or help you learn to care for your baby, but it’s really to save money by hiring less nursing staff. GW, however, does it the worst of all the hospitals. They do have a “nursery” again, but they’re not going to let you use it all night like Inova Fairfax would. [/quote]

FWIW, I almost died at Inova Fairfax because their L&D people ducked up and missed a blood test result. GW I felt totally safe and like reheat was way less likely to happen; they were just way way more with it during L&D in a medicalized way that some people probably hate but I loved because of my first experience. Postpartum was pretty shitty in both 2016 and 2018 at GW. Apparently the nursery was back, but they didn’t even tell me about it... even though DH had to go home to watch our other two and I’d had a c-section, so was in pain meds, could barely move, etc. Still. At least they didn’t almost kill me.
